SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Lead Guitar.ABOUT
I play bass in a Who tribute band, but I'm up for joining a second band if you need a bassist, since the American Who, by design, plays only about once every month or two. Over the years, I've played in a variety of cover and tribute bands, and I just retired, so I'm ready to play even more, day or night. I'm a friendly team player, punctual and reasonable with no substance issues, with a positive, energetic stage manner.
